IAR's Managing Editor Jami Philbrick recently had the a chance to sit down with Diego Luna and, Genesis Rodriguez to discuss their new film Casa de Mi Padre. The two actors talked about the new movie, their characters, their reaction to the idea of being in a Spanish-language Will Ferrell movie, Ferrell's impressive multi-cultural performance, actually playing a bad actor playing the character, why the Spanish community will embrace the film, and the movie's unique originality.

Armando Alvarez (Ferrell) has lived and worked on his father's ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch encounters financhial difficulties, Armando's younger brother Raul (Luna), shows up with his new fiancee, Sonia (Rodriguez). It seems that Raul's success as an international businessman means teh ranch's troubles are over as he pledges to settle all debts his father has incurred. But when Armando falls for Sonia, and Raul's business dealings turn out to be less than legitimate, all hell breaks loose as they find themselves in a war with Mexico's most feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Bernal).
